RunOut #69: The Continuing Legend of Chris Sharma


Chris Sharma makes his RunOut podcast debut to catch us up on what’s going on his busy life as a gym owner who just opened the biggest climbing gym in Barcelona, a TV show host, a father, and of course, sport climbing’s GOATiest GOAT. We dive into life, happiness, meeting Aquaman at Hueco, finding balance, the state of the sport, and future aspirations.

And for our Final Bit, Lee Sheftel, local hero and friend, tickles the ivories and shares the secret of eternal youth.

  1. At the risk of placating, watching Chris in Rampage was my original inspiration to climb. And this conversation is a welcome reminder why he is an inspiration to this day. So excited to here about your evolution as a person and can’t wait to hear what you have in store…

  2. Please make a podcast with Chris and Jason on the intersection of life and climbing. It would be so real because you wouldn’t glamorize them, and we could get a real life view into our heros.
